Chapter 74

There is no need for the crown prince and the second prince to listen to what happened next.

After the two left, Emperor Qing supported Lin Ruofu's arms with both hands, with a look of empathy.

"Lin Xiang, I can fully understand the pain of losing your son, but now that the national war is imminent, you must take care of yourself and lead the six departments well."

Emperor Qing was full of caring words and expressions, in Lin Ruofu's eyes, there was only disgust!

However, Lin Ruofu still had to show a look of gratitude.

"Old minister, there are so many mixed feelings in my heart that I can't express it in words."

Emperor Qing: "It's good that you understand in your heart."

Of course, Emperor Qing knew that these two words could not deceive Lin Ruofu. Lin Ruofu was also a well-known old fox in the court. If he did, he would have been killed in the first place.

Lin Ruofu: "The old minister has something to ask."

Emperor Qing: "Speak."

Lin Ruofu said cautiously: "I also ask Dean Chen to send my son's body back to the old man's mansion. Although he caused a catastrophe, but after all, father and son are together, and they still need to be buried in the ground."

A father must be careful when he wants to return his son. Seeing this scene, Fan You and Fan Xian couldn't help but feel a little desolate.

Fan Xian glanced at Fan You, as if to say, it seems that this Prime Minister is not so glorious.

Fan You nodded slightly.

Lin Ruofu is just a civil servant, no martial arts, no military power, but only masters
Hearing this, Emperor Qing expressed some surprise on his face.

"It should be so!"

Chen Pingping then said: "Mr. Lin, later on, I will send the second son's body back to the mansion."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Qing waved his sleeves and waved at several people.

people leave
Lin Ruofu dragged Fan Xian away, and Fan You and Chen Pingping walked together. During the journey, Fan You was concerned about Chen Pingping's body.

Chen Pingping's legs have recovered now. After using the ointment, the tendons and bones can be restored within a few days.

It takes a long time to recover if you just want to walk normally.

The recovery during this period is not something that medicine stone can help, only by oneself can recover.

It may take a long time, but Chen Pingping can afford to wait.

On the other side, Lin Ruofu dragged Fan Xian to a secluded place.

"Do you really think that Si Gu Jian did the killing of Gong'er?"

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment. Fan Xian didn't know about Wu Zhu's attack this time.

"Not Sigu Jian, who else could it be?"

Lin Ruofu didn't know anymore, he had investigated in private, except for Xie Bi'an, both of the ninth-rank swordsmen in the capital fled far away, for fear that they would encounter Si Gu Jian, a sword idiot, and be cut off with a single sword. .

Except for the ninth-rank swordsman in Kyoto, it is even more impossible outside of Kyoto. The name of Sigu Jianjian is known all over the world. There is a ninth-rank swordsman who will risk being hacked by Sigu sword to come to Kyoto to assassinate many people. Protecting the second son of Lin Xiang?

Lin Ruofu didn't know, in fact, he also thought about it, Si Gu Jian really killed Lin Gong, but he couldn't accept this answer.

From the bottom of his heart, Lin Ruofu couldn't accept the answer that Si Gujian killed Lin Gong.

In the Kingdom of Qing, Lin Ruofu would be able to make Lin Gong pay for anyone who killed Lin Gong except Grand Master, but Grand Master alone couldn't do it.

Lin Ruofu: "Originally, I really thought it was Si Gu Jian who killed Gong Er."

"But just now, where did His Majesty and Chen Pingping act? Do you really think the old man is a fool?"

"Your Majesty is just looking for an excuse to go to war in Northern Qi!"

Fan Xian was also thinking at this time, he was wondering who would kill Lin Gong.

"Instead, Uncle, I was in Fan's residence that day. Si Gu Jian did indeed come. My eldest brother Fan You led people to resist for nearly a quarter of an hour, almost destroying the entire courtyard."

"It's just that at the end, for some reason, Si Gu Jian stopped suddenly, and finally that Si Gu Jian left."

Lin Ruofu said helplessly: "That day, I investigated, and Xie Bi'an was indeed in Fan's residence, and he never left. When Gong'er was killed, he was still in Fan's residence."

"Besides Xie Bi'an, there are two ninth-rank swordsmen in the capital, but when they heard that Si Gu Jian was coming, they all left the night before as if they were running away, and they were not in the capital at all."

"I also sent someone to check the courtyard where Gong'er died, and the maid who survived. From their mouths, I learned that before Wan'er fainted, which guards were still fine, but after Gong'er went upstairs After a while, there was a loud noise from below."

"It's just that the sound didn't last long, just a cup of tea, and all the guards died!"

"Those guards, the lowest ones are seventh-rank. They can kill so many guards in an instant. Except for ninth-rank swordsmen, only a great master can do it."

"Just... who can do it?"

For some reason, a man in black appeared subconsciously in Fan Xian's mind, and he could kill many seventh-rank masters in an instant.

However, Fan Xian dismissed this thought in an instant, that person had no reason to do so.

Lin Ruofu frowned seeing Fan Xian's expression.

"Huh? What are you thinking?"

Fan Xian wondered for a while and said, "Could it be the person brought by Si Gu Jian? I heard from my brother that they only saw Si Gu Jian that day, but if Si Gu Jian really wanted to come to cleanse Fan's mansion, it would be impossible for him to be alone. Come on, how far is Dongyi City from Kyoto?"

Lin Ruofu: "At least a thousand miles away."

Fan Xian suddenly figured it out, whoever said that the one who killed Lin Gong must be someone from the capital, maybe it was Si Gu Jian, but it didn't have to be Si Gu Jian himself, and it might be Si Gu Jian's disciple.

Fan Xian: "Uncle, do you think it is possible that Si Gu Jian brought an apprentice?"

"Think about it, Dongyi City is so far away from the capital, Sigu Jian will come here alone, it will be somewhat troublesome, and no one has found any traces along the way."

"From the assassination on Niulan Street to the killing of Yun Zhilan, it took only a few days. With the ability of the great master, if it is really necessary to wash Fan's mansion with blood, it will definitely not take so long in a thousand miles, let alone in advance." notify."

After Fan Xian finished speaking, Lin Ruofu also thought about it, and it seemed that there was some truth to it.

Lin Ruofu: "Okay, don't think about other things. As for Gong'er's death, don't worry about it. Spend these days with Wan'er."

Fan Xian nodded. What he didn't know, his own unintentional guesses, brought him an extra test.

Inspection Institute

After Chen Pingping and Fan You returned to the Inspection Institute, Fan You did a checkup for Chen Pingping, and by the way, used his true energy to help Chen Pingping open up those tendons that had recovered.

Chen Pingping was very happy looking at Fan You who was squatting on the ground to heal her legs.

"You killed Lin Gong?"

When Fan You heard this sentence suddenly, the movements of his hands stopped for a moment, and then he calmed down.

"Yes, if you don't kill Lin Gong, Fan Xian will never get Lin Ruofu's full support. I didn't tell Fan Xian about this."

Chen Pingping's smile disappeared.

"Lin Ruofu is suspicious by nature. He is indeed a capable person, but he doesn't trust anyone except his own family."

"Even if Fan Xian marries Lin Wan'er, he won't trust him absolutely, because he still has his son, Lin Gong, and he still has sustenance."

"Lin Ruofu is a cruel and ruthless person. If Lin Gong is still alive, then Lin Wan'er can be completely abandoned to him at some point."

"It's just that once Lin Gong dies, the Fan family has no successors, only Fan Xian!"

Fan You: "Fan Xian's ability is enough to carry Lin Ruofu's sustenance. As long as the two get married, the Lin family will be Fan Xian's greatest support."

Chen Pingping: "But, have you ever thought that this might arouse his suspicion?"

Chen Pingping is very aware of Lin Ruofu's character. This person is confident and extremely vigilant. He will not trust a person easily. This is his advantage. The most important thing is that he is ruthless. He is ruthless to others and even more ruthless to himself!
Chen Pingping was very worried, what if Lin Ruofu suspected that Fan Xian had killed Lin Gong?
Fan You sneered and said, "Lin Ruofu has no choice. Fan Xian really doesn't know about it, so Lin Ruofu can't find out anything at all. Few people in the world know about the existence of Uncle Wu Zhu."

Listening to Fan Xian's words, Chen Pingping suddenly thought of something.

"So, Si Gu Jian met Wu Zhu that day, right?"

Fan You was taken aback again, Chen Pingping is really too smart.

"Yes."

Chen Pingping pinched the toy in her hand and said to herself.

"Actually, back then, your mother, Wu Zhu, and the rest of us were good friends."

"The four great masters in this world were all created by your mother, every single one of them."

"Ye Liuyun, Kuhe, Sigujian, including anyone in the palace, are all like this."

"And they all recognize Wu Zhu. Although Si Gu Jian is a sword idiot, once he sees Wu Zhu, he will immediately understand the relationship between you, Fan Xian, and Ye Qingmei."

"Plus, Wu Zhu really has the ability to kill Si Gu Jian, that's why he left so happily."

"After Si Gu Jian left, you asked Wu Zhu to use the sword to kill Lin Gong's guards and Lin Gong at the same time. Very good, step by step closely linked."

Fan You felt that the praise Chen Pingping said was no different from ridicule.

"Tch, what's the matter, didn't you guess it all? Really."

"It's alright, alright, rest well, I've already met Ye Linger and Ye Zhong today, and Ye Zhong even sparred with me, but he was defeated by me."

"So, the Ye family's marriage is stable."
